Industrial Revolution/Intellectual Development 1750-1850 Kyle, Nicole, and Tanner
A younge child in a factory working for little money
Most products people in the industrialized nations use today are turned out swiftly by the process of mass production, by people working on assembly lines using power-driven machines. People of ancient and medieval times didn't have these products. They had to spend long, tedious hours of hand labor even on simple projects. The energy and power, they employed in work came almost wholly from their self and animals muscles. The Industrial Revolution is the name given the era in which machines changed people's way of life as well as their methods of manufacturing.
One of many factories in England.
It is almost impossible to imagine what the world would be like if the effects of the Industrial Revolution were swept away. Electric lights would go out. Automobiles and airplanes wouldn't be here. Telephones, radios, and television would disappear Most of the stocks on the shelves of stores would be gone. The children of the poor people would have little if any schooling and would work from dawn to dark on the farm or in the home. Before machines were invented, work by children as well as by adults was needed in order to provide enough food, clothing, and shelter.
Spinning Jenny
The Industrial Revolution came slowly. It happened in a short amount time but, when measured against the centuries that people had worked by hand it came out on top. John Kay invented the flying shuttle in 1733 and James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny in 1764 , the making of yarn and the weaving of cloth had been very similar for thousands of years. By the 1800's a host of new and faster processes were in use in both manufacturing and transportation.
another of the many factories
TIMELINE1712- The first workable steam-powered engine was developed by Thomas Newcomen1730- The seed drill was invented by Jethro Tull. This was a critical point of the agricultural revolution which freed labour from the fields and lowered crop prices.1750- Industrial Revolution1763- The Spinning Jenny, which greatly accelerated cotton spinning, was invented by James Hargreaves in Blackburn.1765-James Watt produced a more reliable and efficient version of the Newcomen engine.1779- The spinning mule, which made the prodution of the fine yarns by machine possible, was developed in Bolton by Samuel Crompton1785- THe power loom marked the start of the mechanised textile industry.1793- The problem of supplying cotton fast enough for the textile industry was sollved by Eli Whitney's cotton gin.1842- Coal Mines Act prevented women and children from working harsh conditions in mines.1842- Cotton-industry workers in England staged a widespread strike.

Cotton Gin
PEOPLE1.James Watt- First reliable Steam Engine was invented by him. Went sixteen hours per hour2.Eli Whitney- Cotton Gin created by him, Interchangeable parts for machinery was now available which allowed for things to be cheaper3.Robert Fulton- Regular Steamboat service on the Hudson River4.Samuel F. B. Morse- Telegraph was invented by him. The telegraph allowed for quicker communication.5.Elias Howe- Sewing Machine invented by him. This allowed for things to be worked on quicker in 18446.Isaac Singer- Improves and markets Howe's Sewing Machine, this all begins in 18517.Cyrus Field- Transatlantic Cable inventer. 1876 was the year of its invention and since then vast improvements have been made.8.Alexander Graham Bell- Telephone was invented by him in 1876. Since than the product has been improved upon and made much smaller.9.Thomas Edison- Phonograph, incandescant light bulb was invented in 1877 and improved upon again in 187910.Nikola Tesla- Induction Electric Motor created in 1888 by this man.

TERMSIndsutrial Revolution- Change in technology, brought about by improvements in machinery and by use of steam powerFactory System- A method of produciton that brought many workers and machines together into one buidlingDomestic System- Early industrial labor system in which workers produced goods at home.Factory System- A method of production that brought manyu workers and machines together into one buildingAutomation- The condition of being automatically operated or controlledInterchangeable parts- Identical components that can be used in palce of on another in manufactoring.Divison of Labor- Manufacturing technique that breaks down a craft into many simple and repetive tasks that can be performed by unskilled workers.Assembly Line- In a factory, an arrangement where a product is moved from worker to worke, with each person performing a single task in the making of the product.Realism- A 19th century artistic movement in which writers and painters sought to show life as it is rather that life as it should be.Impressionism- A school of late 19th century French painters who pictured appearances by strokes of unmixed colors to give the impression of reflected light.
